Bottom Line: The Sriracha Ramen is pretty good for instant noodles and delivers a bit of a kick.
Ramen and other Asian-style noodles have become somewhat of a gourmet thing nowadays, and there are all sorts of establishments out there selling Ramen, Pho, Udon, Soba, and more. These can make for some pretty heft bowls of soup with all of the toppings they are piling on, but basic instant Ramen is still a thing and makes for a quick and easy (and...
Bottom Line: The Nashville Hot KFC Saucy Nuggets deliver some tasty chicken morsels as you would expect from that chain, but they could use more heat.
Last year, KFC added its all-white-meat chicken nuggets to the menu, and those have proven to be a big seller for the chain thus far. So how do they get even more people to the drive thru? Saucing up those nuggets seems like an option and that is exactly what they are doing. Starting this month,...
This is a tasty combination of roast chilis and other ingredients that can be used to top enchiladas or burritos or that can act as a stew or chili if you add meat or that can just be enjoyed like a salsa. Ingredients 6 to 8 Green Chilis, Roasted 1 to 2 Poblano Chilis, Roasted 2 to 3 Jalapeno Chilis, Roasted 1 Medium Sweet Onion, Diced 5 to 6 Cloves Garlic, Minced 1 to 2 Tablespoons Oil 4 Cups Broth and/or Water 1 Teaspoon Mexican Oregano 1/2...
This recipe for Toreados (cooked, blistered chili peppers) is quick and easy and you will find yourself hooked on these tasty little firecrackers.
Ingredients Whole Chili Peppers (Jalapenos, Serranos, Sweet Peppers, etc.) Oil Salt Lime Juice Directions Wash and dry the chili peppers. In a skillet, heat one to two tablespoons of oil on medium heat. Add chili peppers and stir often to ensure they cook on all sides. After they are well blistered...
Bottom Line: The Fiery Buffalo Royal Crispy Wrap from Burger King brings some heat, but it is pretty messy as well.
Burger King has added another spicy selection to its line of Royal Crispy Wraps with the Fiery Buffalo wrap. I previously reviewed the first spicy version that they put out (which is still on the menu), and you can read my thoughts on that here. Following is the official description of the new Buffalo version:
The new Fiery Buffalo...
Bottom Line: The Savory Chili WcDonald’s Sauce from McDonald’s delivers some sweet heat similar to Korean Gochujang and goes particularly well with the Spicy McChicken.
McDonald’s has a new dipping sauce on the menu, and you may want to give it a try before it returns to Limited-Time-Only-Ville (or turns into another Szechuan Sauce disaster). It is the Savory Chili WcDonald’s Sauce, and it definitely packs some heat. What’s that you...
Bottom Line: The Carolina Reaper Tacos from Dairy Queen deliver some darn good fast food tacos that also bring the heat.
Dairy Queen is one of the oldest fast food chains around, and they are known for their hamburgers and soft serve ice cream, both of which are quite good. But DQ has more to its menu like chicken strips, steak fingers, chicken-fried steak sandwiches, and more. And one of the things they have long had on the menu is tacos,...
Bottom Line: Texas Taco Box makes some first-rate Birria tacos with hot sauce and jalapenos on the side to bring the heat.
Birria is starting to show up on menus on a regular basis these days, and this is a trend that I can really get behind. It is a stew made with beef, lamb, chicken, or goat that is seasoned with dried chilis, garlic, onions, and herbs and spices and it originates from the state of Jalisco. (It’s pronounced bee-ree-ah with a...
Bottom Line: The Fiery Big Fish Sandwich from Burger King is a tasty and hefty fast food seafood offering that also brings a nice kick.
Fish is on the menu again. And it will be again and again for a while, and that’s a good thing. It is Lent Season when fish and seafood tend to be more plentiful at restaurants (especially fast food joints), and as a lover of a good fish sandwich, I really enjoy this season. Last week, I tried the Spicy Jack...
Bottom Line: Ba Nam Cali Super Hot Chili Garlic in Oil is the best of three substitutes I tried for Huy Fong’s Chili Garlic Sauce and Sambal.
Huy Fong’s Sriracha Sauce is finally starting to show back up in the stores after a shortage of a couple of years due to a drought in the area where their chili peppers are grown and other factors. But still rather sparse are bottles of the Chili Garlic Sauce and Sambal, both of which are favorites of...
